Is that a two-wheel drive Beemer? Them europeans are always up to something. My wife and the people here at work say I'm nuts for riding in some of the weather I ride in, but I ain't doing that.

I only owned motorcycles from when I was 15 until I was 22 (that's when I finally bought my first car). I used to ride year-round, including 2 years in Massachusetts. People thought I was nuts. I was just too poor to buy a car.

 

Snow wasn't too bad, but I lost count of the number of times I hit ice, and the bikes slid out from under me, sending me sliding down the road on my arse. Besides the bruises :Avatars_Gee_George:, it usually also cost me 2 turn signals, on whichever side of the bike ended up hitting the road and grinding. Those old Honda Super Sports were rugged.

 

Now I'm a fair weather rider only, because I can be.

ROFL!!!!! The term "Buyer Beware" comes to mind.

 

Boomer....who would prefer to be planted in a graveyard rather than planting his wrinkled keister on a BMW.(this comment is NOT intended to offend ANY person who chooses to own/ride a BMW :innocent:)

Sounds just like me!

 

I would ride my KLR650 when I lived in MA no matter the weather...until my wife put a stop to it. Somethin' about needed me to be around to provide for my family...:whistling:

I rode my jockey shift '46 knucklehead all year round in Wisconsin for 3 years before I finally bought a car...and with bald tyres too! :snow:

 

(my wife sais that I'm good looking as hell...but I ain't the sharpest pencil in the box) :happy-emoticon:

Like ATLM...

 

My car broke down in the seventies & I had to ride my 1968 BSA 441 to work for a week through the snow. In the real slippery icy spots, I would sort of stand over the buke on the road, hang on to the bars & let it pull me along. That was in Rochester, NY many years ago when I was absolutely STUPID!

I rode my canam 250 TnT through 2 snowstorms in 1976. it wasn't half bad until they plowed the road--- thats when the fun began---the slick surface they left behind was a nightmare.

What's that saying? Genius has a limit but stupid doesn't?

My friends dad was a cop and years ago they used to put side cars on for the winter. Brrrr. :snow2:
